WHAT AN EDITOR CAN DO.

M. Leon Meunier, of the Courier
des Etats Unis, devoted all his ener-
gies for years towards popu'N izing M.
Bartholdi's idea in presenting tla Statue
of Liberty to the United SITES. In
conjunction with the late NJ T. .Doulaye,
he wrote increasingly in the Paris press
that the Americans and the French
only understood the idea of popular
liberty, and by his letters he impressed
on the people Of France that Americans
were not forgetful of Lafayette, Roch-
ambeau and the other representatives
of France during our Revolutionary
war. M. Meunier was delegated by
the Republic of France to convey to
the people of the United States their
warm expression on the part of the
French Republic for American Re-
publican institutions, and his knowl-
edge of American affairs in the French
press has paved the way to mutual
understanding. 1t was proud day
for him, when, as one of the French
visiting committee, he saw the unveil-
ing of the Statue of Liberty on Hedloe's
island, and its formal presenta ton to
the Am 4rican people, on the 18th of
October last.

ABOUT MARTHA WASHINGTON.

Somebody in late Lippincott's
Magazine is responsible for the follow
ing rather unromantic statement in
regard to the wife of Washington. We
are not prepared to vouch for the
correctness of the picture drawn.
Martha Washington, the magazinist
says, was a very pretty girl, but not
very good looking old woman. AS she
matured she grew stout; and, though
her pictures represent her as beauty,
the current history of the times says
she was a plainly dressed, robust old
woman, who looked older than her
husband. She was not noted for her
social, nor for her intellectual qualities.
She could not spell, and probably did
not read a book from one end of the
year to the other. She was sort of
goody-goody woman, who almost
always had knitting needles in her
hands, and who thought she did great
thing when she saved the Rawlings of
a lot of old black stockings and worn
out chair covers and Wove them into a
dress for herself. She was very proud
of her husband; and they Sow the
little room in the second sto"v of the
home at Mount Vernon in ,jch she
secluded herself after his dea seeing
no one for months, and allowing only a
cat to enter the room through a hole
which was cut under the door,

A Petrified HOneycomb.

About ten years ago, A. M. Gray of
Boston, was travelling about the
country, seeking to recover his health,
which was feeble at that time. He was
at one time at Oconto, Wis, and there
he meandered about considerably
through the fields.
One day, in climbing over a stone
wall, a stone upon which he had rested
his hand fell to the ground. Its pecu-
liar appearance attracted his attention,
but, although he examined it closely,
he could not make out what it was. In
shape it was oval, about the size of an
ordinary stove cover, and four inches
thick.
This stone he took with him, and
upon reaching Washington in the
course of his journeying, took it to the
Smithsonian Institute, and there sought
to learn, by comparison with the large
and varied collection of geological speci-
mems, inst what it was.
However, nothing like it could be
AooAu' AAAo ioilS oCulCA anu CloSe
scrutiny of the numerous specimens
caused one of the professors to inquire
what he was searching for.
Upon being shown the rock by Mr..
Gray, the professor examined it mo-
ment. and then went into ecstasies over
it. He said it was petriied honey, thing
which had never before been known.
Almost everything else was known to
exist in petrifed state, but up to that
time peJriied honey had never been
found.
When the piece was broken beautiful
sight was presented of perfectly formed
cells, with honey petriied in them in
little drops, that sparkled like diamonds.

HOW THEY USED TO DO,

Here are some of the "reminiscences
of Capt. Isaac Bassett, the venerable
assistant doorkeeper of the Senate:
"In olden days candles were used in
the Senate aud a sperm candle in COM
mon brass candlestick stood on each
senator's desk. These and two large
brass Oil lamps on either side of the
Vice President formed the whole light
of the chamber. I had to fill these
lamps every day and we pages had to
put the candles and candlesticks on
each senators desk. The pages had to
go around the Senate during the even
ing and snuff the candles. For this
we used big iron snuffers, and during
long night session we used two candles,
and in the middle of it we would have
to take out the old ones and light new
ones. A night session of the Senate in
the past formed wierd scene. The
Pickering shadows would fall upon the
senator's face as he spoke, and when
the light burned low, forms would be
hardly distinguished. The mellow
lamps cast softened light over the
marble of the chamber, and made the
whole look like aghostly Senate, pre-
sided over by spectral Vice President.

A Champion Liar.

There is liar in California trying to
head off the liars who get up the circu-
lation statements for the daily papers.
The California liar says:
"Bill Vanders, who fell through the
roof of sawmill when the boiler
exploded last week, coughed up a
circular saw and piece of lung to-day.
DR.. Wilkins put the lung back under
Vander's shirt and set it up by the
steam gauge. He was so far recov-
cred this evening that he blew the bot
tom out of lung tester, and the water
in the machine nearly drowned Baptist
preacher.
1t is believed that the ducking the
preacher received will prevent him
from wheeling next Sunday morning.
Vanders, who was the engineer at the
time of the boiler explosion, was not
only locked for the fifteen minutes
he was in the air, but the owner of
the mill made him repair the hole in
the roof at his own expense, besides
bringing suit for the recovery of the
saw"

AS Bread is the Staff of Life

So is judicieus advertising the
staff of business You may as reas.
onably expect one "good square
meal' to suffice for three months, as
to expect one advertisement to bring
in business for that length of time
Many persons cannot remember any
hing longer than about seven days.
To stop advertising in dull season
is like tearing out a dam because
the water is low-either plan can but
result in disaster.
A ''sign" is mute invitation to
those who may pass a mans place
of business; a circular" will only
reach the one to whom it is personal
ly addressed; buS an advertisement.
in well conducted paper has an
influence "f-r and wide;" it finds
customers and almost compels
them to consider the claims of the

"Doctor," said patient who lived in

had nothing to do, "can't you suggest
some light employment for me, so
could keep my mind off myself?'

asked
"Oh, I am heartily tired of that. 1
Lave been learning new stitches for
the past two years. 1 want something
new and different"
Something that will keep you busy
every moment of the day-keep your
hands occupied?"

contract to keep it wound up. That
Will come pretty near keeping you

INTEMPERANCE IN ENGLAND

Recent statistics published in the
Pail Mall Gazette show that the num-
Der of arrests in England on the charge
of drunkenness and disorderly conduct
has increased from 1886 in 1861 to
1924 in 1884. This is more than 90
600 over the number justified by the
increase of population. In the first
named year S47o,oOoOoo was spent for
liquor. In 1876 they paid $2O5, 100000
more than the increased population
warranted. Only 1858 petitions for
divorce were filed in 1861; in 1884, 7O3
such demands were made. Against
1888 cases of suicide in 1861 are to be
placed 3,213 in 1884, while in the same
period the census of lunatics has in
creased from 1851 to rs, 765.

displaced by card bearing the legend,
81 am something of liar myself"
The card is great improvement on
the gong. 1t makes no noise, it always
tells the truth, and can demoralize
neither school-room, church, or
theatre. Its widespread popularity,
however, speaks more for the frank
ness of men than for their veracity.

print that he is liar is sweetly ingenu-

IRISH LANDLORDS.
Everything They Own Squeezed From the
Poor Peasant.

everything They Own Squeezed From the
Poor Peasant.
Dublin would be the most beautiful
city in Europe but for two things-its
buildings and its people. The aristoc-
racy, soralled, live in tumhle-down
villas, wu.ch, though their whi.e walls
sparkle in the sunshine, prov, when
approached, to be painted shells sur
rounded by gardens in ruins. The in
habitants of all these villas are set of
broken-down landlords, who have been
compelled to close their country houses
and come to town for economy sakei
widows living on the dowry paid them
by their elder brothers, and mortgage
creditors, who live on the mortgages
that they or their ancestors have placed
on the land; for in Ireland, with the
exception of few distillers and brew
ers, who live on the drunkenness of the
people, there is no possible mode of OBJ
tanning money save from the peasant
farmer. The Socialistic axiom that
capital is only useless value, the toll
of the worker being unpaid, is in other
countries mitigated and almost lost
sight of in the multiplicity of avenues
through which money must flow before
it falls into the pockets of the rich.
But in Ireland the direct and rude
transfer of money from the horny hands
of the peasant to the delicate fingers
of the landlord has a horrible smell of
slavery.
In Ireland the landlord does abso-
lutely nothing save to grab all the
money that the peasant can scrape to-
gether. An Irish landlord said: 81 have
always done, now do and will continue
to do just as the other Landlords, for it
is as impossible for me as the rest of
my Clio S to do otherwise; but that does
not pj vent me from acknowledging
the fac that it is WORKOUT system, at
war w h the nineteenth century, and
something that should be at once abol-
ished. In Ireland every chicken that
goes in the pot, every glass vi cham
payne drunk, every silk roae that
rustles on the street, every rose worn
at the ball, is so much squeezed
out of the misery of the PEASANTS
howell. A few years ago this tribute
for that is what it is-was accepted
without a murmur, just as feudalism
or slavery was accepted long ago in
other lands. But now the SCI es have
fallen from the eyes of the Ia. ion and
the sore is laid bare in all its ugliness,
just as if the inner garment mad been
removed from the natural body, reveal
ing the flesh covered with scars and
postules. This wound, which hith-
erto was only visible to few, you now
see every Acre in the most squalid dis
tricts of the city us we'll as III the most
